GENERAL INFO:

• House numbers are required to be placed on all houses in the Town and Village of Hamburg. Numbers must be at least 4" high and visible from the street. Address numbers on mailboxes only are not compliant with the proper codes.
• Remember to keep all generators, pressure washers or other gasoline-powered tools outside and NEVER use in a garage, carport (covered patio) or basement. Keep all gasoline powered tools well away from windows, doors and air-intakes. They all produce large amounts of carbon monoxide (CO) that can build up to dangerous levels in minutes.
